Behind the initiative is Discourse Media in Vancouver, Canada, which has launched the Access to Energy Journalism Fellowship (AEJF) — a project aimed at enabling critical, deep reporting on energy poverty globally.
The project aims to deepen energy poverty reporting at the local level. By then bringing those reports together on a global platform in the form of a multimedia series, it will also paint a global picture of the energy poverty landscape, and examine what potential solutions exist.
The AEJF is supported by the Waterloo Global Science Initiative (WGSI), a non-profit partnership between the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics and the University of Waterloo. To respond to a gap in media discourse around the issue of energy access globally, Discourse Media created
the AEJF project concurrent with the leadup to WGSI’s OpenAccess Energy Summit, which takes place in April, 2016.

The call for applications for the AEJF are open until November 29, 2015. More information

It provides a sanctuary, a scholarship, health insurance and a workplace for journalists who are threatened in their home country or work under pressure.

Travel and visa-costs are covered by the program, as well as private health care, the accommodation and a monthly scholarship of 1000 Euro.

Journalists who want to attend the programme must follow certain criteria, e.g. having worked as an investigative journalist for at least five years and proving that they are under pressure. Furthermore they cannot be member of a political movement and must be able to return to their country to continue their work for press and media freedom at home, if appropriate.

Scraping – getting a computer to capture information from online sources – is one of the most powerful techniques for data-savvy journalists who want to get to the story first, or find exclusives that no one else has spotted. Learn how from Paul Bradshaw, an accomplished online journalist. The course is arranged by Goldsmiths University London.

The five-day course “Finance Uncovered” equips journalists and researchers from all over the world with skills to undertake tax abuse, money laundering and corruption investigations. The course is arranged by City University in London, UK.

The Investigative Film Festival and Symposium is launching in Washington, DC, Sept. 30-Oct. 2.

The festival, first of its kind in the U.S., is highlighting an explosion of creative in the use of film to tell investigative stories. It’ll screen narrative and documentary films inspired by the investigative instinct–both those that began as text, and those that are works of investigation unto themselves.

( #GIJC15 ) on October 8-11, 2015.

Held once every two years, the GIJC is the world’s largest international gathering of investigative journalists. The event, first held in 2001, has grown into a giant training and networking event as investigative reporting has spread globally. GIJC15 will feature journalists doing extraordinary work despite some of the world’s toughest media environments, including China, Mexico, Nigeria, and Pakistan. SCOOP will participate with journalists from Russia, Belarus, Ukraine, probably Azerbaijan plus Sweden and Denmark.

The GIJC is to learn and to network for future international collaborations. At over 150 sessions, top journalists and other experts will share tips on state-of-the-art investigative techniques, data analysis, crossborder reporting, online research, protecting sources, and more.

Names are still uncertain, but SCOOP Russia will participate with five journalists from Nortwest Russia. There will also be 5 from Ukraine and colleagues from Belarus and Azerbaijan.

The conference program is shaping up, though new things are still added. There is space for more participants, so if you are an investigative journalist, it is time to talk to your editor and persuade him that the GIJC is the most instructive and inspirational training you can get!
